In recent works Alexander J. B. Zehnder was focusing on the following fields of study:

As a part of the same scientific family, Alexander J. B. Zehnder mostly works in the field of Scarcity, focusing on Microeconomics and, on occasion, Production (economics). Alexander J. B. Zehnder links adjacent fields of study such as Production (economics) and Productivity in the subject of Macroeconomics. He integrates Productivity with Macroeconomics in his research. His Nitrogen research spans across into areas like Reactive nitrogen, Nitrogen balance and Nitrogen deficiency. He applies his multidisciplinary studies on Reactive nitrogen and Nitrogen in his research. His studies link Organic chemistry with Nitrogen balance. His Nitrogen deficiency research extends to the thematically linked field of Organic chemistry. Alexander J. B. Zehnder incorporates Ecology and Spatial ecology in his research. Alexander J. B. Zehnder performs integrative Spatial ecology and Ecology research in his work.

Between 2007 and 2018, his most popular works were:

  • A high-resolution assessment on global nitrogen flows in cropland (441 citations)
  • Modeling blue and green water availability in Africa (273 citations)
  • Global consumptive water use for crop production: The importance of green water and virtual water (196 citations)

In his most recent research, the most cited works focused on:

  • Agriculture
  • Irrigation
  • Nitrogen

His research investigates the connection between Productivity and topics such as Macroeconomics that intersect with problems in Production (economics). He integrates many fields, such as Production (economics) and Macroeconomics, in his works. His Nitrogen investigation overlaps with other areas such as Reactive nitrogen, Nitrogen balance and Nitrogen deficiency. His Reactive nitrogen study frequently draws connections to adjacent fields such as Organic chemistry. His Organic chemistry study frequently links to other fields, such as Nitrogen deficiency. Alexander J. B. Zehnder undertakes interdisciplinary study in the fields of Nitrogen balance and Nitrogen through his research. By researching both Water resource management and Irrigation, Alexander J. B. Zehnder produces research that crosses academic boundaries. In his papers, Alexander J. B. Zehnder integrates diverse fields, such as Irrigation and Water scarcity. In his articles, he combines various disciplines, including Water scarcity and Water use.
